Chapter 128: The Man Everyone Was Waiting For

"Xiao Yingying, is this what you said about watching the game live?"

Sitting in a bar, Feng Shiyu asked Xiao Yingying, who was looking up at TV.

They were in a bar full of Sampdoria fans, wearing Sampdoria jerseys and beers in their hands, watching the game on their televisions.

Xiao Yingying hurriedly pointed to a boy wearing glasses next to him and said, "Who told him to boast about Haikou and say that he could help us get tickets, but the result was bragging!" ”

The glasses boy said very aggrievedly: "How did I know that the tickets for Sampdoria's home games are so hot now, after all, it is the second division, and the home stands were large and empty during the previous game, and the tickets are easy to get." The results are different now...... And we're a little too many......"

He was referring to the dozen or so Chinese students around him who were just like them.

This is a gathering of international students, and the theme is to watch Gao Zheng's competition.

Originally, this plan was ambitious, hoping that everyone would be able to cheer for Gao Zheng in the stands of the Marassi Stadium, so that China's five-star red flag would appear in the stands of the Marassi Stadium to show the spirit of Chinese students.

As a result, I couldn't get so many tickets for several home games in a row.

So there was really no way, the event could only be changed to watch the live broadcast of the game in the bar and cheer for Gao Zheng.

"Hey, it's satisfying to see Gao Zheng's game, even if it's not on the spot...... Most of the international students are still easy to talk to, and they don't mean to embarrass the organizers.

"That's right, we also brought the national flag, remember to send it to everyone when the time comes."

Feng Shiyu turned her attention to the game, and she asked Xiao Yingying very strangely: "Didn't you say that Gao Zheng is the core, why didn't he play?" ”

Xiao Yingying was just about to open her mouth to explain, and a boy next to her smiled: "It is said that it is because of poor physical fitness, so I didn't start." It's the first time for a beautiful woman to participate in our international student activities, and I've never seen it before......"

Feng Shiyu smiled politely at him: "Thank you." ”

But he didn't answer the questions that followed.

Or Xiao Yingying helped her explain: "Sister Feng is a busy scholar, how can she have so much time to eat, drink and have fun?" I came out to watch the ball this time, but I forcibly pulled her out. ”

The boy hurriedly said: "Then Yingying, how much do you have to force la, your studies are important, but you still have to relax appropriately, and combine work and rest......"

Xiao Yingying saw that Feng Shiyu said two words to her silently from an angle that the boy couldn't see, judging from the shape of her mouth, Sister Feng said "Yingying...... Is this what Ma Huanyang calls himself?

In fact, there is no need for Sister Feng to complain, Xiao Yingying herself can feel the enthusiasm shown by Ma Huanyang. It's not the first time I've participated in an activity among international students, but it's the first time Ma Huanyang has called herself that, and she doesn't fit in.

So Xiao Yingying gave Ma Huanyang an embarrassed and polite smile: "Hehe." ”

Ma Huanyang didn't seem to care about Xiao Yingying's attitude, or that there was no Xiao Yingying in his eyes, he came to Feng Shiyu's side and introduced Gao Zheng to her very enthusiastically: "Beauty is not a fan, right?" Although Gao Zheng is a substitute, he will perform well as long as he comes off the bench, so now Sampdoria fans call Gao Zheng a 'super substitute'...... Although he performed very well on the court, Gao Zheng was actually a very good person to contact in private, and I have only been to the training base three times, and he can already be remembered by me......"

When Ma Huanyang said this, it caused the surrounding boys to exclaim with envy and jealousy: "Gao Zheng actually remembers you!" ”

"Brother Ma, did you ask him for an autograph?"

"What is a signature? Our brother Ma even has a group photo alone! ”

Ma Huanyang looked at Feng Shiyu with a complicated smile on his face that was obviously showing off but didn't want to show it too directly.

"If you want Gao Zheng's autograph and group photo, I can take you there."

Feng Shiyu also showed an embarrassed and polite smile: "Ah, no need, thank you." ”

"You're welcome, it's nothing of trouble. In fact, Gao Zheng is really easy to contact...... "Ma Huanyang still wants to work hard."

"yes, I know." Feng Shiyu held her chin with her hand and replied absentmindedly while watching TV.

Berardi and his teammates in the reserve team sat in a dedicated area and watched the game.

For this race, they traveled from Sassuolo to Modena in a group car.

Sassuolo is just a small town, with only one stadium, and that stadium is now the training ground for Sassuolo's first team and reserves.

The home of the first team is the Alberto Braglia Stadium in Modena.

This stadium can accommodate 21,000 people, and usually Sassuolo can seat 5,000 people when it is a game, which is considered a good attendance, but today's game Berardi is almost 8,000 or 9,000 people.

I don't know if this attendance rate has anything to do with that incident...... Anyway, even the media in Sassuolo and Modena are talking about it.

They were all talking about Sassuolo missing out on a super genius.

"Eh, Dominic, do you think that Gao Zhen is as powerful as the media says?" Manuel Moura, a teammate sitting next to him, asked curiously, he was born in 1994 and was only transferred to the reserve team this season, and he did not experience the situation where Gao Zheng came to Sassuolo for a week of trial last season.

Berardi did not answer the question directly, but pointed to a black man sitting behind them and said, "You can go and ask Marios." ”

Mora turned his head and looked at the black man with a puzzled look.

Marios Konate first glared at Berardi, and then said to Mora with some helplessness: "Yes, it is indeed amazing......"

Konate even said that Gao Zheng played very well, which surprised Mora who asked the question, you must know that Konate never praises people in the team and is known for not being able to speak.

"This ......"

Looking at Mora's surprised expression, Berardi cleared his throat: "It's a long story to talk about......

"Then don't talk about it!" Konate said to Berardi with a bad face.

Berardi grimaced.

Mora asked a new question: "Then since Gao is so powerful, why didn't we sign a contract with him in the first place, is what the newspaper said true?" ”

Berardi shook his head: "I don't know about this, how much do we ordinary players know about the decisions of the club's top management?" ”

"Will Gao hold back his strength in this game and want revenge? Are we in danger? Mora said with a frown, a little worried.

"Rest assured, this is our home turf." A teammate next to him patted him on the shoulder, "And football is not a sport that can be decided by one person." No matter how powerful Gao is, he has to rely on his teammates, and if his teammates don't perform well, it's useless to be tall alone. In terms of overall strength, we are much better than Sampdoria. This can be seen in the league standings. ”

In his words, he disagreed with Gao Zheng's awesomeness.

Berardi glanced at him, and it was Ricardo Babuti, a striker from the reserve team, who spoke.

He remembered this person, who was not in the reserve team last season, and was not transferred to the reserve team until March last year, when Gao Zheng was already playing in the Sampdoria reserve team.

So he didn't see Gao Zheng playing, and he lacked an intuitive impression of Gao Zheng's strength, plus now that the two armies are facing each other, belittling the opponent seems to be a "politically correct" approach.

Berardi smiled and patted Moura: "That's right, we are Sassuolo players, aren't we worried about danger?" ”

Babuti sat in the back row, looking down at Berardi as he said this, and snorted slightly. He was not satisfied that Berardi did not leave a handle that he could use.

Gao Zheng was warming up with his teammates in the warm-up area, and he looked left and right.

Although he tried out for a week at Sassuolo, he was still very new to the stadium.

Sassuolo's original home stadium was too small to meet the regulations, so they rented the stadium in Modena as their home stadium.

When he came to Sassuolo for a trial, the hotel was in Modena. At that time, Uncle Guo drove him back and forth between the hotel and Sassuolo every day.

As his trials in Sassuolo got better and better, he was already keeping an eye on the houses in both places, wondering whether he would live in quieter Sassuolo or a slightly more prosperous Modena.

Of course, he didn't have to dwell on it later, because he didn't have to live in Sassuolo or Modena.

When Gao Zheng was warming up, the TV camera kept following him.

Needless introduction, he was the most talked-about player of the game.

"Gao is warming up, but now that the second half has just begun, I don't think he will be allowed to play so early. But I know what everyone wants to see most now is the game after he plays...... The players on both sides seem to have the same meaning - the score has not been rewritten until now, it is still 0:0......" Sirio teased the slightly dull game.

In fact, Sassuolo is still very positive, but it can't stand Sampdoria's shrinking defense and playing passively. Sassuolo didn't have much of a chance against Sampdoria, who were shrinking defensively, and the game didn't look very good.

The TV broadcast even filmed a Sassuolo fan yawning in the stands.

The kick-off time for this game is 2 p.m., and for the lazy Italians, it is still the time for a lunch break, and if the game is not good, it is indeed easy to get sleepy.

But to everyone's surprise, Gao Zheng, who had finished the warm-up, did not go straight back to the bench to sit, but came to the side of head coach Yacini and assistant coach Carrillo.

"Huh?" Sirio also questioned. "What's going on? Could it be that Accini is going to let Gao play now?! It's only fifty-six minutes...... Ten minutes into the second half? This is not what Achini used to be...... Before, he always sent high after sixty minutes, and it was either the second or the third, but now he hasn't used the substitutions......"

Borata, in front of the TV, snorted, "What's so surprising about this, this is a match against Sassuolo!" Who doesn't know the story between Gao and Sassuolo? If you want me to say that if Gao was allowed to start, how could the first 50 minutes of the game be so dull?! ”

※※※

Ma Huanyang really wanted to find a topic that was close to Feng Shiyu, but Gao Zheng didn't play, and the game was dull, so he couldn't find a topic if he wanted to.

Although the game was indeed a bit dull, Feng Shiyu watched the game quietly throughout the whole process and did not ask any questions, which also made Ma Huanyang unable to answer.

So in this more than 50-minute game, Ma Huanyang watched absent-mindedly, his eyes always wandering back and forth on the TV screen and Feng Shiyu's face.

At this moment, a burst of cheers suddenly sounded in the bar, and Ma Huanyang, who was secretly staring at Feng Shiyu, was startled, and reflexively asked the people around him: "Did Sampdoria score?" ”

"What! It's Gao Zheng who is going to appear! "Someone corrected him.

Ma Huanyang looked up at the TV screen and found Gao Zheng standing in front of the two coaches of Sampdoria, and the head coach Yacini was pulling her to explain something to him.

The TV announcer excitedly said, "It's confirmed!" Gao is going to come off the bench! It's 56 minutes, and he has just over 30 minutes left, the longest time he's played since he came off the bench in Sampdoria's first team! Apparently Achini understands that too! ”

Hearing this, the Sampdoria fans and Chinese students in the bar burst into laughter.

Everybody gets it.

In the midst of laughter, Feng Shiyu raised her head and focused her eyes on the person on the TV screen.

It doesn't look like it's any different from the little Takaka she knows...... Even with that jersey, it's hard to associate him with the star who can get everyone cheering just by standing on the sidelines.

※※※

Yacini looked up at Gao Zheng standing in front of him, and said with a smile: "I don't think I need to say anything, right?" ”

Gao Zheng hurriedly waved his hand: "Coach, let's say a few words, don't be special." ”

"Kick as you want." Yacini patted him on the back and pushed him towards the fourth officer. "Let Sassuolo regret going! It's a pity that their boss didn't come to the game today, maybe it was on purpose? ”

"I don't know." Gao Zheng smiled and shook his head, and walked towards the fourth official, he saw that the other party was losing his number - 40 on the huge electronic substitution number board, and next to it was the number of the player who had already lost and was about to be replaced - 99.
